I am livid. I am self-employed, live in 400 sq ft, no dishwasher/microwave or maid service, can't afford a car because I pay my own health insurance(look at the cost of a single person as opposed to family insurance) and my city tax is one of the highest in the nation yet the Frost family is defined by the tax system as 'poor'. Further the Frost parents have one thing I do not, four children who will be there to care for them in their old age while I, a childless woman, must now purchase long-term care insurance in case I need help when I get sick. This isn't a matter of fairness, it's a matter of justice. I lived my life responsibly yet I will be punished for doing so while the Frost family gets all the entitlement goodies. I am livid.

To be honest - having a rational discussion about SCHIP is as likely as having a rational discussion with the Left about the Iraq war. Ain't gonna happen!

Here is the solution. Increase the minimum wage for everyone in America to about 24$ an hour, poverty solved. Give everyone access to whatever health care plan they wanted at whatever they feel is fair to pay, just pass a law, easy as that. Cover the difference with a tax on rich doctors. Set gas and heating oil prices at fixed affordable levels, tax the rich oil companies to fund the difference. Why is this so hard? Congress could do this in a week, then they could go home and not even have to run for re-election as all Americans would be so thankful they would be automatically re-elected. Oh yeah, bring all troops home, no need for war as no need for oil as that problem was solved above! Why is this so difficult? Here is the solution.

Don't make the government _force_ me to aid you. Though I do anyway. People starving in the gutter? Hasn't _ever_ been that way in the US. There have always been charity homes. There are now. My church has an open food pantry...we often fret that things will expire before they are used. This is pretty straight forward: If you can’t work then either find a charity or die.
